I had a great day meeting Splintered fans and being on panels with some amazing authors! Here I am on a horror panel with the incomparable Leigh Bardugo, Carrie Ryan, Nova Ren Suma, and April Genevieve Tucholke:

We talked scary movies and books, then discussed our upcoming horror anthology, Slasher Girls & Monster Boys.
I've read a few of the stories inside, and you're going to want to pick up this little gem. It's filled with all kinds of tantalizing creeptitude.
Anyway, the most exciting time I had all day (other than meeting the fabulous fans--that's always the best part) was revealing the novella's title and cover! My good pal, Jenny Mlodzik, snapped some pictures of the event, so here it is in still shots:
And the title is UNTAMED! Yay! (I know, I was putting on a silly show ... but it was fun ... that's all that matters, right?)
Here's a nice big image, so you can see all the loveliness up close and personal:
Here's a quick rundown of Q&A about the book/cover:

If you have other questions, you may leave them below and I'll try to answer in a few days. Just please make sure your comments/questions aren't spoilery or I'll have to delete them. Not everyone has read Ensnared yet. ;)
I'm still under a crazy deadline, but I'll get a breather later this week (either Thursday or Friday) and will finally have that giveaway I've been promising. And yes, some of the prizes will be Untamed goodies!

So, keep a weather eye on the horizon! And happy Monday. :)
Do you think that the Splintered series may be released in a box set? I think it would be a gorgeous one and I would definitely want to wait for it if there is one :)
ReplyDeleteIt's possible! My publisher hasn't said for sure yet, but I"m hoping. :)
DeleteThe cover is impossibly gorgeous up close <3 Love it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have a theory about Alyssa's eyes ;P
P.S. Never mind the theory, I'm rethinking.
DeleteHaha. Well, I think you'll be surprised. ;) And so glad you like it! I do, too. :)
DeleteI love the book cover *-* BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for reading them! Glad you're enjoying the stories. :) And I agree, the cover model they chose for this one and Splintered is so pretty.

ReplyDelete*hugs* Thank you! It makes me purrrrr. ;) Haha
DeleteI love it so much! <3 You've made my WEEK, and we're on Monday hehe
ReplyDeleteMy question is, and maybe it's a bit silly, that book happens years laters sice the end of Snared, right?
Yes, the longest, headlining story takes place after Ensnared. You can find more info here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25105196-untamed
DeleteYayyy for The Moth In The Mirror being included too! More Morpheus is always great news :) xoxo
ReplyDeletewww.thelittleenigma.blogspot.com
Haha. True. No such thing as too much moth man. ;)
DeleteSo is it written yet or still being written? A year seems like a LONG time for a novella for us to have to wait. If it's still being written/edited I can understand.
ReplyDeleteI just finished the final story today. And now we start the edits.
DeleteGotcha! Super excited!!!
DeleteUntamed is the Ensnared sequence? Or not? His fans in Brazil are freaking out right to know what is
ReplyDeleteYeah, i want to know too. Because in Brazil, Ensnared will be released only in November here
DeleteYes, it comes after Ensnared. ;) I hope you get it there soon!
DeleteYou see...I KNEW 2016 was going to be totally awesome! Can we just skip 2015 now? ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Thank you! And noooo! Let's not skip 2015. I need it for edits. ;)

DeleteSoooo happy. Loved all 3 books and been dying for more. So excited for untamed and can't wait for next year!
ReplyDeleteWell, now you only have to wait until December 2015, so at least that's not quite as far away. ;)
DeleteHi im from Australia and my book club (there is only about 5 of us) just finished your series. We loved it thank you so much for writing these books. I love all things wonderland. I cant wait to read the next book!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for reading the series! That's so awesome. :) Can't wait to share Untamed with you!
DeleteI have to say, I've reread the ending to Ensnared three times over at least. I never do that immediately after finishing a book which speaks wonders about how much I love it! Seeing the news that there's going to be a sequel, and with such a lovely cover no less, has made my week infinitely better! January 2016 is so far away, but this Wonderland world is worth the wait! Thank you for writing such an incredible series!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! It means the world that you loved the ending that much! Looking forward to sharing Untamed, and it's coming in Dec 2015 now, so that's even sooner. :)
DeleteOmg. Thank goodness for this.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing that thing where you shrivel up and die inside from "beloved character withdraw"
I don't read books. I eat them.
Aw, thank you for loving my characters so much! :)
DeleteA.G howard i love your boooooooooks! I think that she has differ eyes cuz MOTHMAN! <3 Go morph! I LOVE HIIIIM and i think i love jebish.....meh WHO CARES ABOUT OVERPROTECTIVE JEBEDIAH??????? HUH????
ReplyDeleteAnd i am suffering from no mothie... i need *insert singsong voice* ENSNARED!
ReplyDeleteHaha. There's no such thing as too much Mothman, right? ;P
DeleteThe cover is amazingly beautiful! I really really REALLY hope to see Alyssa's and Morpheus's son! AND a view of their life in Wonderland! hint hint Mrs. Howard;) But we have to wait till the end of this year??? Gosh darn it!
ReplyDeleteActually, you only have to wait until December 2015 now. :)
Deletehow many books are going to be in this series? i absolutely love the way you picture all of the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland characters. i would definitely recommend this book to my family and friends! love you so much!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And for now Untamed will be the final book. But I do plan to write more Wonderland/ Splintered stories in the future. Just taking a little break. ;)
